West Sacramento: Hwy 80 at Reed

West Sacramento sits on the Sacramento River in California's Yolo County, where its riverfront faces the state capital across the water. The city occupies the lowland edge of the Sacramento Valley, with levees and the river shaping both its streets and working waterfront. Tower Bridge, a gold-painted vertical-lift span opened in 1935, connects West Sacramento to downtown Sacramento and remains a defining crossing on the river. Near the bridge, Sutter Health Park is home to the Sacramento River Cats, a minor-league baseball club. West Sacramento also contains the Port of West Sacramento, linked to San Francisco Bay by the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
